Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a cooled solution of 2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (11.93 g, 80 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (120 ml) was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 3.2 g, 80 mmol) in portions between 0° C. and 5° C. (1 h). The mixture was stirred 1 h at 0° C. To the cooled mixture was added ethyl iodide (13.7 g, 88 mmol) dropwise. The ice bath was removed and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 17 h. The mixture was poured on water and extracted twice with AcOEt. The organic layers were washed with brine and water, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, heptane/AcOEt 9:1) to give the title compound (13.3 g) as colorless oil.
